Both Sweetouchnee and Red Rose are available from Stop and Shop and A&P in the New York Area.

I still use the cannisters (one of them still has loose Sweetouchnee in it) and wouldn't consider selling them.

Many of the unusual teas are available on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, that hub of Middle Eastern commerce.

Top quality Oolong can be gotten from Ten Ren Tea Company of New York and Los Angeles (213-626-8844) unless the company has changed the number.

Has anyone read "Tea with the Black Dragon" and "Twisting the Rope" by R.A.MacAvoy. Both books relate peripherally to oolong and are folk music related. Recommend them both.
